RELEASE SAVEPOINT

RELEASE SAVEPOINT

Destroys a previously defined savepoint.

Synopsis

RELEASE [SAVEPOINT] savepoint_name

Description

RELEASE SAVEPOINT destroys a savepoint previously defined
in the current transaction.

Destroying a savepoint makes it unavailable as a rollback point, but it has no other user visible
behavior. It does not undo the effects of commands executed after the savepoint was
established. (To do that, see ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT.) Destroying a savepoint when it is no longer
needed may allow the system to reclaim some resources earlier than transaction end.

RELEASE SAVEPOINT also destroys all savepoints that were established
after the named savepoint was established.
